It is according to which option/pkg you choose when joining Ancestry.com. The $99 dollar pkg comes with census, otherwise, I think you will find it is separate. I haven't found the census they furnish worth adding, currently, what one can read, and nothing seems available for my NC relatives. However, the first year I joined was about the same price and I had access to some census but not the original. I thought I was getting something special, especially since I wanted Newberry County, Dutch Fork area. If any of you have some hints to pass along regarding better use/access I would appreciate being made aware. I am going to message Ancestry.com and explain my problem and then perhaps they will write something in the newsletter or magazine. It could be that I haven't learned to work it properly yet. Very likely. I understand they are working on completing various states. Elizabeth S.
